Will this tool cut through heavy weight .046 caliper thick cardboard?

It was a Christmas present for my son but he has said that he likes it and it has come in handy more than once and so easy to use.

Providing what ever it is you are cutting isn't made of metal or heavy plastic it will cut if it fits into the cutting slot

Definitely will go through cardboard. Fill the box with folded newspaper or magazines then test to make sure it does not pass completely through. This is a powerful BB gun not an air soft.

Yes. I don't think this will be the right tool. It only cuts in circles and is hard to cut where it breaks evenly.

Hello Angel. Yes. I cut through 3/4" thick TREATED plywood, which is a really dense and heavy plywood because of all the chemicals in it. Treated plywood also tends to hold more moisture than regular plywood, at times it even feels damp to the touch, and two sheets stacked together with out some kind of divider between them will actually "sweat". So I really thought I would have had a problem cutting it, but this tool did great. Just make sure you use the cutter that is specifically for wood. With the correct bit you should be able to cut through any thickness of plywood. Hardwood may cause problems if you cut anything thicker than 3/4". I have not tried it in a full 1" thick hardwood board; as I have only cut ply. Just take your time, don't rush the cuts and clean them out often if you are making thin and curved cuts. If there is a high moisture content in the ply, the sawdust will build up in the cuts. I just repass the bit along the inside of the cut and the spinning bit can be used to clean the area. Please protect your eyes, wear goggles -- I tend to lean down really close to the area as I cut as my eyes are old and getting bad! Good luck with your project -- oh and this tool can be used just like a small dremmel brand tool. I needed to cut some really big nails out of some old wood and I tried one of my metal cutting disk from my dremmel and it worked great. So you can use this for a lot of different things.

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

I use mine for cutting material; however, I don't see why it wouldn't cut cardboard. The straightness of the line depends on the user.

It's very thick and heavy duty. I don't know what you would cut it with. I think even good shears would be inadequate.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

It is a compress cardboard 1/8" thick. I believe will be easy to cut off with a small hand handle tool. Like a bread knife of small saw.

We had 2 pieces of stock paper which is a heavy card stock and it cut right through with no problem, I would think as long as you clean the blade to keep it from getting sticky from the glue you should be fine.

Maybe thin corrugated cardboard would fit (the opening is quite narrow), but I wouldn't recommend trying to cut cardboard with paper punches; they are not designed for the thickness and strength of cardboard.

I would suggest a more heavy duty saw. I used this one on some 3/8 oak plywood. Although it punched holes and cut through the material. It took way too long and was not very good at clean straight cuts. I would only use this for light sanding.

Definitely need a heavier tool than this to cut through a coat hanger... this is for electrical work, not cutting through steel.

yes, but you would have to clamp it down. and I wouldn't recommend that for common use. It's just so heavy that a cheaper cutter would be easier in the long run. It also has a problem cutting straight (regardless of how much paper you cut)

We punched through some extra leather fabric we had on hand for a conference room chair - so most likely, yes if its not really thick. The machine punches thick cardboard covers so I think it will work.

It will cut through cardboard, fabric, thin wood and leave cut marks on my table. I'm sure it will cut through felt. It's a handy gadget. I'm as is fixed with the results. It has various sized circles to use which are kept in the handle for storage.

Yes. I have cut through hardwoods and hard plastics with this saw with no difficulties.
